Interpretive Data:
Elevated urine 2,3-dinor-11beta-prostaglandin F2 alpha is consistent with systemic mastocytosis.
Comments:
This test is useful for screening for mast cell activation disorders including systemic mastocytosis using random urine specimens.
Ordering Guidance:
Although a random urine collection is acceptable, the preferred specimen for 2,3-dinor-11beta-prostaglandin F2 alpha analysis is a 24-hour urine collection; order 23BPT / 2,3-Dinor-11 Beta-Prostaglandin F2 Alpha, 24 Hour, Urine.
If ordering this test with NMHR / N-Methylhistamine, Random, Urine, both tests must be ordered under different order numbers. They cannot share an order number.
Elevated levels of 2,3-dinor-11beta-prostaglandin F2 alpha (2,3 BPG) in urine are not specific for systemic mast cell disease and may be found in patients with angioedema, diffuse urticaria, or myeloproliferative diseases in the absence of diffuse mast cell proliferation.
Systemic mast cell disease is a heterogeneous disease, and some patients may not have elevated 2,3 BPG in urine.
